A bright sunny day at -9, a four wheeler and a few people had being on the trail.
I was for a 75 minute walk, this field had soybeans in it, the stubble is short but not enough snow to cover the stubble.
A little farther away is a ploughed field and again not enough snow to cover the sods.
This is at Ellen creek at low tide, a lot of ducks enjoying the open water. I was out cycling for a couple hours, mostly sunny at +1
The Charlottetown harbour as seen from Victoria Park, again a lot of open water. Usually by this time of year there would ice fishing shacks on the ice, but none yet this year.
This is the North river on the north side of the bridge, again many ducks and open water.
A nice sunny day at +2, just a few puffy clouds around.
I was out walking for 90 minutes, although there is a lot of people walk in the woods area, I have only seen tracks of one other person this far from home, so I have crossed this field many time in the last couple months.
Official sunset today was 5:10, and this photo taken at 5:10 but it was still bright at 5:30 PM.
We had snow then rain last night. I used the blower to clear the driveway, snow was very wet.
The sun was hitting the edges of the clouds. The temp was +1 but later dropped to -2.
I was for a hour long walk mid afternoon, GPS indicated that I walked 3 km. The snow was crusted but you broke though it as you stepped on it. This photo taken around 4:00 and the sun was peeking out in places. I was to Hampshire to play cards.
It was overcast at -4 when I went cycling this morning, the forecast was for snow after lunch.
The trail in the Charlottetown area was bare like as in the summer. I went as far as the Sherwood road on the trail but then it was icy so I went to the streets. I logged 30 km by the time I got home. The snow didn't start until 4:00 and then just a very light dusting.
Today the hiking group went to Dalvay and walked these two trails, about 5 km total.
This is the bubbling spring on the bubbling spring trail, there is enough heat in the water so that it never freezes.
This stone wall is around a old cemetery, there was light snow at -7 at the time we were on the trail. There was some sunny breaks later in the day.
It was sunny at +4 when I went cycling, The river is icing over, the open is just around the bridge area.
There is ducks enjoying the open water at the bridge.
This photo was taken from Victoria park, some ice drifting around the Charlottetown harbour.
About 15 mm of rain this morning and the temp is up to +6. Lots of water flowing in the creek, almost touching the foot bridge.
The flow of water is like what I would see in the spring thaws.
The field is almost snow free, still some frost in the ground. It still is +6 as I post this at 9:07
I walked the trails at the Brookvale wood lot in the afternoon, took about a hour to complete the loop.
Fresh snow last night so I could tell that several people had walked the trail before me.
The fresh snow fell without much wind, so it stayed on the trees.
One of the trails though the field, by the tracks there were several people out on the fresh snow before me.
Mostly a overcast day with the sun trying to shine though at times, temp was -7.
I was out cycling for a couple hours after lunch, this is the new Provincial Manor as seen from the main highway. It is located on the west side of Charlottetown.
This ducks are in Ellen creek next to the North River road.
The Confederation Trail near the Charlottetown mall is bare. There was some sun in morning, overcast at zero when I was cycling, a hour after I got home it started to snow, forecast is for 5 cm.
It was -10 when the hiking group started walking the Winter River trail.
There is a fair flow of water at this point in the river. After lunch I was to the wood lot for a couple hours.
Light rain in morning, some sun in afternoon with a high of +6. Still some open water on the North River.
The close up photo shows that the ducks are still enjoying the open water.
This is the back side of the Jean Canfield Government of Canada building next the Canadian Blood Services building in Charlottetown. I donated plasma this afternoon, then attended a board meeting for Island Trails.
Overcast all day at +1. I didn't get to walk today, I helped a neighbor for a couple hours at the chicken barn.
Photos are of the ball field, a little snow but need more before I can use the skis.
Around 1:00 I went for a walk, sky mostly clear at -12.
30 minutes later the sky had clouded over, we still have very little snow on the ground.
Official sunset is 4:52 but I took this photo at 5:14 and still light. The evening daylight is lengthening each day.
The sun is rising a little earlier each day.
Some ice gathering in the North River, this is looking south from the bridge.
Later in the day looking north from the bridge. I was to Montague in the morning.
A few cm of fresh snow overnight, +5 when I went for a walk in the afternoon. I went by where the bees nest is located.
Something has opened it up on one side, I am thinking a bird of some type, maybe a crow.
